1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

ALI/ARDS remain the main reason of morbidity and mortality in the critically ill. Studies have indicated that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) can be useful in the treatment of ALI/ARDS. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and its analog FTY720 significantly reduce lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced lung edema and inflammatory lung injury. This study aimed to assess the therapeutic effects of hUC-MSCs combined with FTY720 in an LPS-induced murine model of ALI. Eight-week-old female C57BL/6 mice were divided into a normal control group, an LPS group, an hUC-MSC group, an FTY720 group, and an hUC-MSCs+FTY720 group randomly. At 24 hours post injury, mice were administrated hUC-MSCs via the tail vein and/or intraperitoneally injected with FTY720. We assessed histopathology and histologic scores, lung wet/dry weight ratio, micro-CT scans, and total protein in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), as well as cytokines in the BALF at 48 h post injury. All treatment groups showed higher survival rates and attenuated lung injuries. The hUC-MSCs+FTY720 group yielded better results than hUC-MSCs or FTY720 alone. While the underlying mechanism requires further study, we anticipate that combination therapy of hUC-MSCs and FTY720 could be an effective strategy for ALI.
